BUG: Testing to See if the Current Form is "Me" Always Returns False

• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, version 1.0
• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When testing to see if the current form is "Me" always returns False in a Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic (VBCE) project, the expectation is that this should always return True.

RESOLUTION

The workaround for this is to compare the Caption properties of Me and Form1.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start a new Windows CE HPC Project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.



2. Add a command button to Form1.



3. Paste the following code into Form1:




Option Explicit

Public Sub Test(frm)
    MsgBox "Form1 is frm = " & (Form1 Is frm)
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Test Me
    Test Form1
End Sub 

4. Run the project and target either emulation or the remote device.
